Fire door ironmongery in Newry, done to the evidence
From the BT35 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Newry for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Newry range from care homes to houses with integral garages and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Newry we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence. Signage for fire doors in Newry buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
What you get:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Intumescent pads and lock linings

Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
